Remote Link software.

Page 8: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

You also need the following items:

800 x 600 or higher resolution monitor

CD-ROM drive

One available COM port if connecting to an SCS-1 or SCS-1R, SCS-105, or direct connecting to a

panel. Two available Com ports if using the pass-through feature.

Note: If using Remote Link on Windows 7 or Windows Vista under Standard Operator

authority, see Installing Link on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Using a Virtual Environment:

Remote Link may be installed and used in a virtualized environment, provided that the virtual machine

is running an operating system listed in the Supported Operating Systems table. When running in a

virtualized environment, additional configuration of the virtual machine’s TCP and serial ports may be

required.

This section outlines specific steps to install and use Link on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Operating System Privileges

The two types of Operating System user accounts referenced in this section are: administrator and

standard user accounts. These types of accounts have different privileges that allow or restrict the

functions a user can perform.

From the Windows 7 documentation: “Standard account users can use most software and change

system settings that do not affect other users or the security of the computer. Administrators have

complete access to the computer and can make any desired changes. Based on notification settings,

administrators may be asked to provide their password or confirmation before making changes that

affect other users.”

Link Operator Privileges

A Link operator is an individual that interacts with Link to perform a task. Operators may use Link

daily, or on an as-needed basis. However, all operators must log in to Link before most tasks can be

performed. Link allows privileges to be granted and/or removed to operator accounts. The privileges

are managed in the System > Operator Configuration screen. For the purposes of this document, it will

be assumed there are only two types of Link operators: administrators and standard operators. A Link

administrator has Administrator special permissions, a standard operator does not. See the Operator

Configuration section of the Link help for more information on operator privileges.

Roles

There are three roles discussed in this section. Note that an individual may serve more than one role

for an organization.

Workstation Administrator – has administrator access to the workstation operating system.

Link Administrator – has limited operating system privileges and administrator operator privileges

within the Link application.  This also applies to Link Server administrators.

Link Operator – has limited operating system privileges and may also have limited Link operator

privileges.

The remainder of this document will assume a ‘typical’ organizational structure and Link

configuration. This is defined as:

There are one or more Workstation Administrators who perform maintenance of the

workstations. Workstation Administrators only interact with Link for installation, maintenance

and decommission.

There is at least one Link Administrator who performs operator management tasks within Link.

The Link Administrator interacts with Link on an as-needed basis.

There are one or more Link Operators who use Link on a daily basis. Link Operators cannot

perform Link installation, maintenance or management tasks.

InstallingA Workstation Administrator must perform installation of Remote Link, System Link or Link Server. A

Workstation Administrator must also perform any version upgrades to Remote Link and Link

Server. Any Link modules (e.g. Account Groups) should be activated at the time of installation by the

Workstation Administrator. See Registering and Activating Modules section of Link Help.

 Registry Keys

Once Remote Link and all modules are installed, the Workstation Administrator should give Link

Administrators Full Control access to modify the DMP key shown and its sub-keys.

A Link Operator does not require any additional registry privileges.

 The primary registry key that Link uses to store application data is:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Digital Monitoring Products\

Registry Editor showing Link Registry Key

Database

This section discusses Database setup for Remote Link and System Link. For information on

configuring a Link Server database, refer to the Link Server section of this document.

If a Link Administrator is not a Workstation Administrator, then the Link database should not be

located in a system drive, such as C:\ or C:\Program Files. Locating the Link database in a non-system

directory will allow the Link Administrator to manage and move the database without requiring the

assistance of the Workstation Administrator.

The Workstation Administrator should grant Link Administrators and Link Operators full access to the

database folder (and sub-folders) and the Link installation folder (and sub-folders). This should be

done irrespective of the database location.

Link Server

This section discusses information specific to Link Server. Link Server allows multiple Remote Link

client workstations to use a single database. After Link Server is installed by a Workstation

Administrator, it may be used in day-to-day operation by a Link Operator.

DBISAM Database Server

The primary component that differentiates Link Server from other Link installations is the DBISAM

Database Server, a SQL database service. Once Link Server is installed, the DBISAM Database Server

should start automatically when the workstation is started. A Workstation Administrator can start and

stop the service using the Services tool. A Link Operator should not be able to stop the service. All

Link Operator workstations that run Remote Link must be able to establish a TCP/IP connection to the

DBISAM Database Server address and port.

Link Server Database Service

Remote Link offers an updated interface that is simple to navigate, and provides easy access to the

information you are most likely to need.

The Window menu allows you to switch between the windows you have open in Remote Link, or to

organize the way you view them. You may also switch between windows within Remote Link by holding

down the Ctrl and Tab buttons at the same time.

File > Close Panel will close the account file and all windows you currently have open.

File > Exit will close all windows you have open, disconnect you from a panel if you are connected, and

exit from Remote Link.

Clicking Apply applies all changes you have made in that window.

Clicking OK saves any changes you have made in that window and closes the window.

Your Remote Link database contains your subscriber account information, your password information,

and other valuable data. It is important to protect this information by performing regular backups of

the database.

Please backup your Remote Link database!

You can find the location of the Remote Link database by selecting System > Configure > Remote

Link to open the Remote Link Configuration window. Click on the Database tab near the top of the

window. The Database Location field will display the path to your database.

If you would like to store your Remote Link database in a different location than the default folder,

enter the location that you prefer for your Remote Link database in the Database Location field

before setting up any accounts.

Page 12: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Note: Do not attempt to move an existing database by changing the location listed in the

Database Location field. See instructions about creating a new database location.

If you change the location listed in the Database Location field without first moving the database

manually, you will receive a message asking, "Do you wish to create a new database?" If you click OK,

Remote Link creates a new database at the location that you just assigned and ignores the previous

database. This means you will not have access to any previous account information and

configurations settings from the previously existing Remote Link database.

Note: If you are using Remote Link on a computer connected to a network, run the Remote

Link program from your local hard drive, not from a network drive. Remote Link accesses the

database more quickly if the database is located on the local computer than if it is located on

a network drive. Only one computer at a time may use a Remote Link database.

System > Log ON / OFF

Before using Remote Link, you must log in to the program with a user name and password. When you

open Remote Link, the Log On window automatically displays. You may log off and then log in as

another user any time the program is open.

The default log in is new for both your user name and password. Be sure the Caps Lock is not on.

Note: Keep track of your passwords and remember to always keep them in a safe location.

System > Configure > Rem ote Link > Database Tab

The settings in the Database tab allow you to change the location where Remote Link stores data on

your computer's hard drive. It also allows you to backup and purge your Remote Link database, as well

as merge another Remote Link database into the existing or import your Remote Access database into

Remote Link.

Note: Before performing any database maintenance function, it is recommended that you

backup the Remote Link database folder to prevent the possible loss of valuable data.

You may move your Remote Link database to a folder on your computer hard drive, or to any

connected network drive.

Page 30: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

System > Configure > Rem ote Link > Database Tab

General Options

Database Location

Computer Hard Drive: Enter the path to the Remote Link database location on the computer or

network hard drive. If you would like to store your Remote Link database in a different location than

the default folder, type the location in the Database Location field. You may also browse for the folder

where you would like to place your Remote Link database by clicking on the button just to the right of

the Database Location field with three small dots.

The database may also be stored on a remote network server. This option allows more than three

Remote Link computers to perform extensive database operations at the same time. Refer to the Link

Server Installation Sheet (LT-0837).

Network Server: To use Remote Link with Link Server, enter the network server IP address and port

number to the Remote Link database location. The default port number is 12005. Check with your Link

Server administrator for the correct IP address and port number and enter the information using the

following format:

server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:ppppp

x = IP Address

p = Port Number

Note: Standard Remote Link operation supports database access for up to three computers as

long as only one computer at a time performs extensive database access operations such as

uploading or downloading information from a panel. If more computers or more extensive

simultaneous database access is required, it is recommended the Link Server software be

installed on a network server.

Database Relocation: To manually move your Remote Link database, use Windows Explorer and copy

the complete database folder (usually "C:\Link\Db") and paste to the desired location. Go to the

Database Location field and either type the new location of the database into the field or click the

browse button to locate where you have relocated the database.

If you change the location listed in the Database Location field without first moving the database

manually, Remote Link displays a message asking, "Do you wish to create a new database?" If you click

on OK, Remote Link creates a new database at the location that you just assigned and ignores the

previous database. This means that Remote Link does not have access to any previous account

information and configurations settings from the previously existing Remote Access database.

Note: If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, only users with administrative privileges in

Windows can relocate the database. If a user without administrative privileges attempts to

move the database, Remote Link does not save the attempted relocation.

If Remote Link does not start up correctly, one cause could be an invalid database location. Use the

command line option "/dblocation" to set the path to the database. Go to Start > Run and type c:\Link

\Link.exe /dblocation LOCATION.

SOCKS ProxyA SOCKS proxy server is a server-based computer application used to transfer data between client

computers using a set of filtering rules for enhanced security. SOCKS is an abbreviation for "sockets,"

which are connection points on the Internet. The SOCKS Internet protocol serves to keep client

machines safe and anonymous for security purposes and to help speed up the access of routinely

accessed data, especially when used in conjunction with a firewall.

How SOCKS works

SOCKS works as a client/server. A users’ workstation must have a SOCKS client installed, either in the

application (such as putty, Firefox), or in the TCP/IP where the client software redirects packets into

a SOCKS tunnel.

The SOCKS client will initiate a connection to a SOCKS server. The SOCKS protocol allows

authentication and logging of the connection requests.

The SOCKS server then acts as the IP Client for the connection request. This means that the external

Single Sign-On Authentication/Windows CredentialsAuthentication

Single Sign-On and Windows Credentials Authentications allows a Remote Link operator to be

associated with their Windows user account. When launched, Remote Link matches the Windows user

currently logged in to an operator in the Remote Link database. The Single Sign-On feature eliminates

the need to log into Remote Link--the operating system has already authenticated the user. However

Windows Credentials Authentication feature is more secure than the Single Sign-On where users leave

their computers "unlocked" when they step away. The Windows Credential feature prompts the user

for their (Windows) password when they launch the application. If a Windows user account fails to

match a Remote Link operator an Application Access Denied dialog box displays and the user is denied

access to Remote Link.

Remote Link will default to using Classic Login when upgrading software from previous versions that

did not support Single Sign-On or when creating new databases.

Note: Administrator level authority is required to add Single Sign-On users or modify

authorities.

To Enable Single Sign-On or Windows Credentials:

From the main Remote Link screen, select System > Operator Information to display the Operator

Configuration window. Click the Authentication… button at the bottom center of the screen. The

Operator Authentication Method dialog displays detailing the three types of operator authentication.

Click Next to continue or click the Cancel button to terminate the process.

with the SCS-1R, and access is granted to panel programming or User Menu. The service person then

has 30 minutes to complete programming before authenticating again. If the Service Code entered is

not validated, access to programming or the User Menu using the Service User code is denied.

32 Door Add On A / 32 Door Add On B

XR550 Series Panels operating with Version 111 (1/11/16) firmware now includes 32 doors of access

control for the XR550. At no extra charge, this firmware update provides the ability to program an

additional 16 doors of access to the system using 734 Wiegand Interface Modules connected to any of

the XR550's LXBus headers. Combined with the 16 doors of access available from the keypad bus

totals 32 doors.

Door capacity can be increased to a maximum of 64 or 96 by applying the 32 Door Add On A/32 Door

Add On B Feature Upgrade. This feature upgrade can only be enabled on an XR550 panel version 111

or higher. There are five LX-Bus ports on each XR550 panel. allows an LXBus address (e.g. 501) to be

entered at Device Setup to program a 734 attached to the bus. Once a 734 address has been

programmed for the bus, the LXBus is automatically converted from a hardwire zone expansion bus to

a hardwire Access Expansion Bus (AXBus) and the bus begins to operate as shown below.

Each 734 module provides one door relay and four protection zones to connect switches such

as door and window contacts.

16 doors of access can be programmed per AXBus to a maximum of eighty (80) 734 modules.

Please see the table below for available addresses.

Any unused AXBus zone numbers may be programmed as wireless zones. Hardwired zone

SCS-104 Network

Network Line Enable: Select to enable the network for the selected line card. Default is selected.

Local IP Address: Enter the SCS-104 IP address. This address must be unique and cannot be

duplicated. The default value is 192.168.000.250.

Local Port: This identifies the port used to communicate messages to and from the panel. If a setting

change is required, enter the new number. Valid range is 1 to 65,535. The default value is 2001.

Page 90: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Gateway IP Address: Enter the Gateway IP Address to exit your local network. The default value is

000.000.000.000.

Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask assigned to the SCS-104. The default value is 255.255.255.000.

Passphrase: In order to communicate using encryption, XR550INT, XR550 Series, and XR500 Series

panels reporting in to the SCS-104 at the receiver must have a Passphrase. This Passphrase must be

programmed into every panel reporting in to the SCS-104 at the receiver. The SCS-104 installed in the

receiver must also be programmed with the same Passphrase.

To enable encryption enter an 8 to 16-character Passphrase using alphanumeric characters. If you

leave the Passphrase blank, the SCS-104 communicates with XR550 Series and XR500 Series panels,

but the data is not encrypted. The Passphrase is blank by default.

Note: DO NOT LOSE THE PASSPHRASE. A lost or forgotten Passphrase requires that every

panel reporting in to the SCS-104 at the receiver be individually reprogrammed with a new

passphrase.

S16 & S17 Always: When disabled, the S16 Panel Not Responding message is sent to the

automation computer for each supervised account that has stopped sending check-in messages unless

50 S16 messages have been generated for different accounts within one minute. This could occur

because the network has failed. Once this occurs, S72 Network Trouble is sent and the receiver stops

sending S16 messages to the automation computer. The receiver sends S73 Network Restored and will

begin sending S16 messages after the receiver starts receiving check-in messages again.

When enabled, the S16 Panel Not Responding message is always sent to the automation computer for

each supervised account that has stopped sending check-in messages without regard to the number of

accounts generating S16 messages.

When enabled, the S17 Panel Response Restored message is sent to the automation computer each

time a supervised account checks in for the first time after installation. This also occurs at an

account’s first check-in after the receiver or SCS-104 is powered-up. Default is disabled.

Acknowledge Panel Substitution Message: When selected, the SCS-104 replies with an

acknowledgment to messages sent by substituted panels. See the Substitution Code section of the

panel programming guide for the definition of a substituted panel. The SCS-104 generates only one

S58 Alarm: Panel Substitution message to the host automation computer and receiver printer for each

substituted panel. Subsequent messages from substituted panels do not generate additional S58

messages.

When not selected, substituted panels are not sent acknowledgments for their messages. For each

message received from a substituted panel, an S58 Alarm: Panel Substitution message is sent to the

host automation computer and receiver printer.

Note: Select this option for all receiver installations except for Canadian receiver installations

where the security requirement is ULC Level 5 and then this option should not be selected.

SCS-104 Check-in Table

Permission to Allow Trap can be given in the Operator Configuration screen of Remote Link.

Permission must be given before the user can initiate a trap.

Panel> Trap Query

Note: In order for the user to initiate a

trap, the user must have permission to

do so. Permission to Allow Trap can be

given in the Operator Configuration

screen of Remote Link. Permission must

be given before the user can initiate a

trap.

This option is used to view the status of panel

trap messages stored in the receiver SCS-101 or

SCS-104. The Trap Query window remains empty

until the Request button is selected. Remote Link

then queries the SCS-101 or SCS-104 configured

in the TCP Trap tab in Remote Link

Configuration. A new window displays the status

of stored panel trap messages. The status displays as Waiting, Sent, Failed, or Expired. The SCS-101

or SCS-104 can store up to 50 panel trap messages at a time.

Note: Remote Link only supports the use of one SCS-101 or SCS-104 for network panel

trapping. If you wish to send panel trap messages to a second SCS-101 or SCS-104, the Trap

Server Address configured in Remote Link Configuration>TCP Trap tab must to be changed to

the second SCS-101 or SCS-104 IP address.

Panel > Hangup

not delayed during this period. Enter 0 (zero) to disable transmission delay.

Events MGR (XR100/XR500 Series panel Version 121 or earlier): The Events Manager menu

specifies when the panel will send non-alarm reports.

Events Manager does not affect zone alarm, zone trouble, zone restoral, supervisory, or serviceman

messages. Also, this feature will not delay closing reports if Closing Wait is checked in Program >

System Options.

Note: The Events Manager menu is not available on XT30/XT50 Series, XT30INT Series, XTLC,

XTLN, or XTLN-WiFi panels.

The following three items are the options in the Events Manager menu:

Send Events Immediately - All reports are sent to the receiver as they occur.

Delay Events - All non-alarm reports are held until the panel memory buffer contains 12,000

events on the XR100/XR500 for the past 45 days. Any event older than 45 days automatically

clears from the system memory. Also, once the full 12,000 events are stored, any new event

causes the oldest event to be cleared.

Note: Network communication does not delay reports but send them as they occur.

Keep Events - All non-alarm reports are held in the panel memory buffer until they are

overwritten by new activity.

Note: Contact ID and Modem IIe (M2E) do not delay or keep events, but send them as they

occur.

automatic recall tests. Not Available on XT30INT Series, XT Series or XT30INT Series panels.

Example: Two panels, A and B, are programmed the same: Defer Test is set to Yes and Test

Frequency is set to 7.

Panel A: Panel A sends no signals to the receiver during the seven day Test Frequency cycle. On

the seventh day Panel A sends the automatic recall test to the receiver.

Panel B: On the third day of the seven day Test Frequency cycle, Panel B sends a signal to the

receiver. The automatic recall test is not sent to the receiver because Panel B has communicated

with the receiver during the programmed Test Frequency cycle. The seven day cycle is restarted

at the time the signal is received.

Note: These two fields, Defer Test and Test Frequency, should have the same value as the

Auto Recall Frequency and Allow Test Deferrals fields in File > Panel Information > Extended

enter the Net Setup String for the second network device. The Net Setup String is sent to the

second network device, such as a cellular modem, which sends the messages to the receiver.

Note: If NET Backup and UL AA are enabled, the panel only sends the S72 (WARNING:

NETWORK TROUBLE) message after the first series of network message attempts fails.

Retry Time: Enter the number of seconds (3 to 15 seconds) the panel should wait before retrying to

send a message to the receiver if an acknowledgment was not received. The panel retries as many

times as possible for a period of one minute before sending a network trouble message. For example,

if Retry Time is set to 15, the panel retries four times. The default Retry Time is 5 seconds.

Net Backup Enable: Check the Net Backup Enable checkbox to enable Net Backup and require panel

messages to be sent to a backup IP Address if the messages fail to communicate to the remote

(primary) IP address. Leave the box empty to disable Net Backup. For more information about the

Net Backup feature, refer to Host/Net Backup Examples in the help file.

When Net Backup is enabled and the J23 jumper on the XR500 panel is set to R, panel messages are

sent through the RS-232 serial port. Refer to the XR500 Series Installation Guide (LT-0681).

Note: Second line programming is available for dialer communication types such as CELL or DD

to backup network communications.

Supervised Backup Enable: Check the Supervise Backup Enable checkbox to enable supervised

communication and send checkins to the network Central Station receiver for the Network Backup.

Leave the box empty to disable supervised communication.

Programming options for supervision of Network Backup is provided by the same options used by the

Communications Type programming for UL AA, Check In Time, and Fail Time. If Substitution Code is

enabled, then it is automatically enabled for Network Backup. When Supervise Backup is enabled, Net

Trouble only displays on the keypad if both primary and backup IP address communications fail.

UL AA Enable: Select the box to enable UL AA Mode. UL AA involves check-in reports. Check-in

reports are a method of supervising the panel communication with the receiver. To be UL AA

compliant, panels must check-in with the receiver every 6 minutes when armed. By default, UL AA is

not enabled.

The SCS-1 or SCS-1R Receiver verifies that the next Check-in report is received at the appropriate

time. SCS-1 version 805 or higher firmware is required in the SCS-1 Receiver. When UL AA is

enabled and the check-in fails after one minute, the panel sends a WARNING: NETWORK TROUBLE

(S72) report on the 2ND LINE. The next time the NET report is successfully sent, the panel sends a

NETWORK RESTORED (S73) report over the 2ND LINE.

Note: Network Trouble, Network Fail Notification, is automatically enabled when UL AA is

enabled. Network Trouble allows the panel to detect a failure of the primary network and send

an S72, Network Trouble message, through the DD if it is programmed as the second line.

When the primary network restores the panel sends an S73, Network Restored, message.

Disarm Check-in: If you enable UL AA, this field displays. Enter the number of minutes, from 1 to 6

Page 149: Remote Link User Guide

or R, between disarmed check-in reports. If any area is armed, the report is automatically sent every

6 minutes.

Enter R in the Disarm Check-in field to program the panel to send the check-in report at random

times, but always between 5 to 60 minutes.

Substitution Code Enable: If UL AA is disabled, the Substitution Code Enable field is enabled. Check

the box if the panel sends a Panel Substitution Code when communicating with the receiver. The

Panel Substitution Code increases the level of security by helping to ensure that the panel sending the

message to the receiver has not been substituted by another panel. By default, the Substitution Code

is not enabled. When UL AA is enabled, the substitution code is always sent.

Check-in Time: If you disable UL AA, enter the number of minutes, from 0 to 240, between check-in

reports. This occurs when the panel is armed or disarmed. Check-in reports are a method of

supervising the panel for communication with the receiver. When 0 (Zero) is entered, the check-in

feature is disabled. By default, the Check-in Time is 6 minute.

Fail Time: Allows the receiver to miss multiple check-ins before logging that the panel is missing. For

example, if Check-in Time is set to 10 and Fail Time is set to 30, the receiver only indicates a Panel

Not Responding after 30 minutes. The panel attempts to send the message every 10 minutes.

The Fail Time must be equal to or greater than the Check-in Time. For example, if the Check-in Time

is 10 minutes, the Fail Time should be 10 minutes or more. The maximum Fail Time is 240 minutes.

By default, the Fail Time is 6 minute.

Notify Network Trouble: Sends a notification when there is trouble with the network. When UL AA is

enabled, this feature is automatically enabled. When Notify Network Trouble is enabled and the panel

detects a failure of the primary network, the panel sends an S72, Network Trouble message, through

the digital dialer (DD) if it is programmed as the second line. Also, the trouble keypads sound a

continuous tone and display "NETWORK -TRBL." Press any key to silence the tone.

When the primary network restores the panel sends an S73, Network Restored message, through the

digital dialer (DD) if it is programmed as the second line. The "NETWORK -TRBL" display is removed

from the keypad and the tone automatically silences.

Net Test Enable: Check this box to send an S97 network communication test message to the Central

Station receiver over the network based on the Test Time and frequency programmed in

Communications.

Note: The S97 test message is specific to network operation. The S88 and S07 messages are

specific to and only sent using the digital dialer. Having separate test messages for network

and digital dialer operation allows the Central Station to identify the communication path used

to send the message.

Net Fail Test: The time programmed in Net Fail Test increases the dialer test frequency programmed

in Test Time during a network failure. Select a 2, 4, or 8-hour interval between digital dialer contact

attempts. The digital dialer sends an S88, Automatic Recall Unrestored System message or an S07,

Automatic Recall Test message at the programmed minutes indicated in the Automatic Recall Test

Time. Select 0 (zero) to disable more frequent digital dialer testing when NET communications fail.

Default is 0 (zero).

Programming and Operation

Version 111 (1/11/16) now allows an LXBus address (e.g. 501) to be entered at Device Setup to

program a 734 attached to the bus. Once a 734 address has been programmed for the bus, the LXBus

Page 167: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

is automatically converted from a hardwire zone expansion bus to a hardwire Access Expansion Bus

(AXBus) and the bus begins to operate as shown below.

Each 734 module provides one door relay and four protection zones to connect switches

such as door and window contacts.

16 doors of access can be programmed per AXBus to a maximum of eighty (80) 734

modules. Please see the table below for available addresses.

Any unused AXBus zone numbers may be programmed as wireless zones. Hardwired zone

expansion modules such as the 711, 714, 715-16 and others are incompatible with bus

operation and cannot be used.

receiver and logged in the Display events at the time of card read or code entry and is not delayed.

During this delay, all subsequent codes entered or cards presented to the reader for a door strike are

ignored and no record of the attempt is stored. Enter zero to disable. Default is 0 (zero).

Fire Exit: This option allows the door access relay at this address to be released whenever fire panic

keys are pressed or a Fire or Fire Verify zone alarm is in the keypad Status List. The relay resets

whenever a Sensor Reset is performed to remove all Fire and Fire Verify zone alarms from the Status

List. Leave this field empty to prevent the door access relay at this address from releasing during a

fire alarm.

Output Group: This option allows the output group (relays) assigned to the user profile to turn ON

when the device relay is activated for the programmed strike time. This could be used to operate an

elevator control. See the User Profiles section of the XR500/XR100 User Guide (LT-0683), the XR150/

XR350/XR550 User Guide (LT-1278), or the XR150INT/XR550INT User Guide (LT-1278INT) for more

information.

Override: Select this option to allow door On/Off schedules to be overridden by the armed condition

of the system.

Checking the Override box causes the panel to ignore the ON time for a door schedule when all areas

assigned to Access Areas for this device are armed. If any area disarms after the door schedule on

time, the panel will turn on the device output. A door output that is on during a disarmed period will

automatically turn off when all access areas assigned to the device arm, even if the scheduled off time

has not been reached.

You may use the Override feature to keep doors locked when a business opens late, or is forced to

close early, due to a snowstorm or other cause. Leave the Override field blank to allow door schedules

to operate independent of system armed status.

Auto Force Arm: Enable to have all Display Areas assigned to this keypad automatically arm and to

force arm faulted zones at arming. If Closing Code is programmed as YES, only the matching areas

between the Display Areas and the User Code's authorized areas arm. Also, when enabled, the user is

not prompted to select areas to disarm after entering a code at Entry Delay or after choosing Disarm

at the keypad. All matching areas assigned to the User Code and to this keypad are automatically

disarmed. When not enabled, the user is prompted to select areas (ALL NO YES) and choose to force

arm or bypass at arming and disarming. See the Device Setup section of the XR500 Series

Zone 2 Options

Activate Zone 2 Bypass: Select to enable the Bypass option. Unselect allows standard zone operation

on Zone 2. Default setting is unchecked.

If the door being released by the 734/734N/734N-WiFi module is protected (contact installed), you can

provide a programmable Bypass entry/exit timer by connecting its contact wiring to the

734/734N/734N-WiFi module Zone 2. When the on-board Form C relay activates and the user opens

the door connected to Zone 2, the zone is bypassed for the number of seconds programmed in Zone 2

Bypass Time allowing the user to enter/exit.

If Zone 2 does not restore (door closed) within the programmed bypass time, the 734 piezo pulses

during the last ten seconds. If Zone 2 restores prior to the end of the programmed time, the piezo

silences. If the zone does not restore before the programmed time, the 734/734N/734N-WiFi ends the

bypass and indicates the open or short zone condition to the panel.

Relock on Zone 2 Change: Select to turn the 734 door relay off and relock the door when Zone 2

changes state. Disabling this option leaves the relay on for the door access time when Zone 2 restores.

The default is disabled.

Zone 2 Bypass Time: Enter the number of Bypass seconds to elapse before the Bypass timer

expires. Range is from 20 to 250 seconds. If the door remains open when the timer expires a zone

open/short is sent to the panel for Zone 2. The default is 40 seconds.

Zone 3 Options

Activate Zone 3 Request to Exit: Selecting enables the Zone 3 Request to Exit (REX) option.

Disabling allows standard zone operation on Zone 3. Default setting is disabled.

Optionally connect a PIR (or other motion sensing device) or a mechanical switch to Zone 3 to provide

REX capability to the system. When Zone 3 shorts, the on-board Form C relay activates for the

programmed number of seconds. During this time, the user can open the protected door to start the

programmed Bypass entry/exit timer. After the programmed number of seconds, the relay restores

the door to its locked state.

The 734/734N/734N-WiFi module provides a bypass-only option for REX on Zone 3. When Zone 3 opens

from a normal state, only a bypass occurs: the on-board relay does not activate. This bypass-only

option uses two methods of REX. The first REX device provides the programmed Bypass entry/exit

timer. The second REX device, or manual device such as a door knob, unlocks the door.

An example of the shunt-only configuration is a door to an office that is locked 24 hours a day. Users

pass a REX motion detector positioned by the door to begin the programmed exit timer. Within the

programmed number of seconds the user must then manually activate a second device, such as a REX

device or manual door knob, to unlock the door. If the door is opened after the programmed number

Page 178: Remote Link User Guide

of seconds, the zone goes into alarm.

Zone 3 Request to Exit Strike Time: Enter the number of Request to Exit seconds to elapse. Range

is from 5 to 250 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.

Activate Onboard Speaker: Select to enable the on-board piezo speaker for local annunciation.

Disable to turn the piezo off for all operations. This does not affect remote annunciator open collector

(RA) operation. The default is disabled.

Card Options

Card Options: Select DMP to indicate the reader sends a 26-bit DMP data string. Select CUSTOM if

using a non-DMP credential or user code length of 6 to 12 digits. Select ANY to activate the door relay

for the programmed Zone 3 Rex Strike Time when any Wiegand string is received. Default is DMP.

Note: When set to DMP, the 734/734N/734N-WiFi converts 17 bits of the 26-bit data string

into a 5-digit number.

Wiegand Code Length: When using a custom product, enter the total number of bits to be received

in Wiegand code including parity bits. Select a number between 1-255 to equal the number of bits.

Default is 26 bits.

Typically, an access card contains data bits for a site code, a user code, and start/stop/parity bits.

The starting position location and code length must be determined and programmed into the

734/734N/734N-WiFi Module.

Site Code Position: Enter the site code start position in the data string. Enter a number between 0-

255. Default is 1.

Site Code Length: Enter the number of characters the site code contains. Enter a number

between 1-16. Default is 8.

User Code Position: Enter the User Code start bit position. Enter a number between 0-255.

Default is 9.

User Code Length: Enter the number of User Code bits. For 734, when used with a XR150/

XR350/XR550 Series, version 103 or higher, a custom user code can be a number between 16-40. For

all other panels they can then be a number between 16-32. For 734N/734N-WiFi, custom user codes

can only be a number between 1-255. The default is 16.

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Require Site Code:

Select to enable the use of a site code. In addition to User Code verification, door access is only

granted when any one site code programmed below matches the site code received in the Wiegand

string.

Site Codes: You can program up to eight site codes. Site code range is 0-999 for the 734 and the

range is 0-255 for the 734N/734N-WiFi. Any previously programmed site codes display. Enter a three

or five digit site code number followed by the tab key to advance to the next Site Code.

Note: A card with a site code greater than three digits cannot be used. Use only cards with

three-digit site codes.

Number of User Code Digits: The 734 module recognizes user codes from 4-12 digits in length. The

734N/734N-WiFi module recognizes user codes from 1-12 digits in length. This number must match

the user code number length being used by the panel. Default is 5. For a XR150/XR350/XR550 Series

Area System version 102 use 4 to 12 digits (typically 5). For XR100/XR500 Series Area System, use 4

to 10 digits (typically 5). For all other systems and panels, use 4 digits.

Any selection above 5 digits require entry of the custom card definitions with custom site and user

code positions for the Wiegand string. When searching the bit string for the user code, the digits are

identified and read from left to right.

No Communication with Panel:

This option defines the relay action when communication with the panel has not occurred for five

seconds. Choose the action required. Default is Off.

Off (Relay Always Off) — The relay does not turn on when any Wiegand string is received. Off does

not affect any REX operation.

Site (Accept Site Code) — Door access is granted when the Wiegand site code string received

matches any programmed site code. For details refer back to the Require Site Code option.

Any (Any Wiegand Read) — Door access is granted when any Wiegand string is received.

ON (Relay Always On) — The relay is always on.

Series, or XR100 Series panel for remote programming at 2400 baud through the panel dialer. Leave

this box checked to allow communication through an SCS-105.

Receiver Key Operation:

When enabled, the panel requests the receiver’s key during its first message to the SCS-1R Receiver

and this becomes the alarm receiver key. A receiver key is an alphanumeric code programmed into the

receiver and identifies it to alarm panels. The panel retains this alarm receiver key in memory and

allows remote commands to be accepted over the dialer from the alarm receiver. If an alarm occurs

during a remote connect, the alarm report is immediately sent to the alarm receiver and does not

appear at the remote programming software.

Enabling this option also enables remote commands and programming to be accepted from a secondary

receiver other than the alarm SCS-1R Receiver. The panel requests the service receiver key the first

time it is contacted by another receiver and this becomes the service receiver key. The panel retains

this service receiver key in memory and accepts remote commands from the service receiver. If an

alarm occurs during a remote connect, the panel disconnects from the service receiver and calls the

alarm receiver. Alarm reports are only sent to the alarm receiver.

It is important that the alarm receiver key and the service receiver key programmed into the receiver

at the central station are NOT the same so the panel can determine the difference between receivers.

When disabled, remote commands and programming are not accepted from the SCS-1R Receiver using

digital dialer and all memory of receiver keys is cleared.

Yes (XT50/XT30 Series and CellComSL panels) : Sends opening and closing reports for each

programmed area.

Abort Reports: Programs the panel to send an Abort Signal Received (S45) message to the receiver.

This abort report is sent any time an area is disarmed after an alarm report has been sent and the bell

cutoff time has not expired.

For XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, and XR500 Series panels Version 110 or

higher, if the area where the alarm occurred is disarmed after the alarm message has been sent to the

receiver but before the bell cutoff time expires even if the alarm was silenced, an Cancel Signal

Received (S49) message is sent. The Cancel Signal Received report cannot be disabled.

Note: The panel sends a "Warning: Alarm Bell Silenced" report to the central station if a user

silences the alarm bell from a keypad.

Abort reports are also sent when the system is disarmed during transmit delay while the bell output

timer is active.

Note: For XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, XR500 Series, and XR100

Series, if the area where the alarm occurred is disarmed before the alarm message has been

sent to the receiver during transmit delay and before the bell cutoff time expires even if the

alarm was silenced, an Abort Signal (S45) message is sent.

If the area where the alarm occurred is disarmed after the alarm message was sent and before the bell

cutoff time expired, a Cancel Signal (S49) message is sent. The Cancel Signal message cannot be

disabled.

Bypass Reports: Checking the Bypass Reports box sends all zone bypasses, resets, and force arm

reports to the receiver. The bypass report includes the zone number, zone name, and the user name

and number of the individual operating the system.

Schedule Change Reports: Checking the Schedule Change Reports box sends all schedule changes to

the receiver. The report includes the day, opening time, and closing time. In addition, the Schedule

Change feature will send the user name and number of the individual making these changes. Schedule

changes made through Remote Link are not sent to the printer or the event buffer.

Code Change Reports: Checking the Code Change Reports box sends all code additions, changes,

and deletions to the receiver. The code change report includes the user name and number added or

deleted and the user name and number of the individual making the change. Code changes made

through Remote Link are not sent to the printer or the event buffer.

Ambush: Checking this box sends an ambush report to the central station whenever user code number

one is entered at a keypad. If you leave this box empty, the panel does not send ambush reports, and

user number one becomes a standard user code instead of an ambush code.

Late To Open (XT30/XT50, XTL, XTLN, and XTLN-WiFi only): Enter 1-240 as the number of minutes

to elapse that the system may remain armed after the opening time of a schedule without sending a

Late To Open message. If the system continues to be armed after the Late to Open minutes expire, a

Late To Open message is sent to the central station. Default is 0, which disables the Late To Open

option.

Wireless House Code (XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, XR500 Series

Version 113 and higher and XR100 Series): When using DMP 1100 Series Wireless, enter a House

Code between 1 and 50 for the wireless system to use. The DMP 1100X Wireless Receiver

automatically programs the house code into the wireless transmitters when the unique transmitter

serial number is programmed into the panel. See DMP Wireless Options in Zone Information.

Default is 0 indicating no wireless is being used.

The house code identifies the panel, receiver, and transmitters to each other. When operating, the

receiver listens for transmissions that have the programmed house code and transmitter serial

number.

Note: The flexibility of DMP two-way wireless operation allows an existing house code to be

changed in the panel at any time. The transmitters may take up to two minutes to learn the

new house code and continue operation.

Note: When any wireless zone programming is changed in the panel, wireless receiver zone

programming is updated. At that point, all wireless zones display as normal for approximately

one minute, regardless of the actual state of the zone.

When using FA Series Wireless on XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, or XR500

Series enter 99 for the house code.

programmed at the keypad sends Panic, Emergency, or Fire messages to the central station receiver.

When not selected the two-button panic operation is disabled.

Enhanced Zone Test: Select this option to enable Enhanced Zone Test operations. The default is

unchecked.

Enhanced operation allows:

Panic Test and Walk Test functions can be restricted to operate only during an Area 32, Shift 4

schedule if programmed.

A Verify message is sent each time a zone is tested. If a zone is tripped multiple times, a Verify

message is sent for each trip. This allows the Central Station to record the number of devices

per zone.

The Verify message for each zone test is sent at the time the trip occurs instead of at the end

of Walk Test. The System Test Begin and System Test End Central Station messages indicate

the type of zone being tested. The System Test Begin message also includes the user name and

number.

Send 16 Char Names: This option allows the central stations to select being sent either the first 16

characters of the name field or the entire programmed name, up to 32 characters, for user name, user

profile, zone name, area name, output name, and group name.

When selected, the first 16 characters of the name field are sent to the central station. If not

selected, all characters entered in the name field up to the maximum of 32 characters are sent. The

default is checked.

Note: Using 32 character names increases the length of the DMP Serial 3 message from the

panel to the receiver. The SCS-1R receiver does not require an update to pass these messages

to the Host Automation System of the Central Station. Before using names longer than 16

characters, determine whether the Host Automation System of your Central Station can accept

17 to 32 character names. If not, only use 16 character names.

Keypad Armed LED

This option is available only when using an Area system. Select ALL to require all keypad display areas

to be armed before the keypad Armed LED turns on. Select ANY to turn on the keypad Armed LED when

any keypad display area is armed. Default is ALL.

Use False Alarm Question (XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, and

XR100/XR500 Series Version 208 and higher)

This option allows an alternate display at the keypad when a burglar alarm occurs.

When selected, the keypad displays “IS THIS A FALSE ALARM? NO YES” rather than “CANCEL VERIFY”

for Home/Away or All/Perimeter systems.

Default is disabled.

Allow Own User Code Change (XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, and

XR500 V210 or higher)

This option allows users without user code authority to change their own user code. When selected,

the User Code menu displays USER CODE: ***** at the keypad to allow that user to change their own

code. If disabled, the user cannot change their personal user code. Default is disabled.

Panic Supervision (XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, and XR500 V210

or higher)

Select to enable a 30 day supervision of the Model 1145-1-B-PSV Wireless Key Fob. Default is disabled.

This option allows an 1145-1-B-PSV key fob that is lost or has a dead battery to be identified at the

Page 200: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Central Station host automation system as a missing transmitter, without the need to apply a

supervision time in zone information programming. SCS-VR Version 1.3.5 or higher is required to

receive 1145-1-B-PSV supervision messages through the XR500 panel.

The 1145-1-B-PSV key fob supervision message is communicated to SCS-VR using all XR500

communication paths where Panic Test is YES within Advanced Communication programming. A

supervision message is automatically sent from the key fob to SVS-VR every four hours, resetting the

30 day countdown timer for that key fob serial number. If the 30 day timer expires for a key fob serial

number, SCS-VR will generate a zone missing message to the host automation system. For the

application where an 1145-1-B-PSV key fob is programmed into several XR500 Version 210 or higher

panels, a supervision message sent through any XR500 into which the key fob is programmed will

satisfy the 30 day timer. The SCS-VR zone missing message to host automation will be for the last

panel account number where the key fob successfully communicated a supervision message to SCS-VR.

The 1145-1-B-PSV key fob MISSING is not displayed or recorded at the XR500 control panel.

In addition, this option allows for manual testing of 1145-1-B-PSV key fobs during Walk Test (8144) or

Panic Test from the user menu. A key fob that is successfully activated during these test modes will

cause an increment to the keypad display TRIPS counter and a Verify message is sent to SCS-VR for

that zone. For those 1145-1-B-PSV key fobs that are programmed into the panel but not manually

tested, a Fail message is NOT displayed at the keypad and is not sent to SCS-VR.

range for the countdown timer is 0 to 9 hours. The countdown timer starts when the panel is

disarmed.

Note: This feature is used to monitor a person for non-activity. This could be used for a

person living alone to detect when they have not tripped a disarmed zone within a

programmed period of time.

Entry Delay 1: Enter the Entry Delay time for all Exit type zones programmed to use Entry Delay 1.

When an armed Exit type zone is faulted, the keypad prewarn tone begins sounding. All keypads

programmed to prewarn for that zone display ENTER CODE:- and the name of the zone causing the

entry delay. When the first digit of a code is entered, the prewarn tone stops at that keypad. If an

invalid code is entered, the prewarn tone begins sounding again. The area must be disarmed before

the delay expires or an alarm report is sent to the receiver and an alarm sounds. All zones in that area

are delayed along with the Exit zone. Entry Delay times can be from 20 to 250 seconds.

Program Entry Delay 2, 3, and 4 following Entry Delay 1 instructions.

Note: XR150INT/XR550INT Series panels Entry Delay times can be from 5 to 250 seconds.

zone.

Note: For XR100/XR500 Version 200 or lower, when the SIA CP-01 option is not enabled, the

first digit entered at the keypad does not stop the prewarn tone.

Cross Zone Time: Enter the time allowed between zone faults. When zones are cross zoned, the same

zone or a second cross zoned zone must fault within this time in order for an alarm report for both

zones to be sent to the receiver. If the cross zone time expires without the second zone faulting, only

a zone fault from the first zone is reported. Cross-zone time can be from 4 to 250 seconds. Entering 0

(zero) disables this function.

Zone Retard Delay: Enter the retard time assigned to Fire, Supervisory, Auxiliary 1, Auxiliary 2, and

Panic type zones. The retard delay only functions when the zone is shorted. The zone must remain

shorted for the entire length of the Retard Delay before being recognized by the panel. The Zone

Retard Delay can be from 1 to 250 seconds. Entering a zero disables this feature.

Power Fail Delay: Tracks the duration of an AC power failure. When the AC power is off for the

length of the programmed delay time, an AC power failure report is sent to the receiver. The delay

time can be from 1 to 15 hours. If you enter a 0 (zero), the panel sends the AC power failure report

after a 15-second delay.

Delays:

XT Series Delay Options

Zone Activity Hours: Allows you to select the number of hours a countdown timer is set to monitor

for non-activity. The range for the countdown timer is 0 to 9 hours. The countdown timer starts when

the panel is disarmed.

Note: This feature is used to monitor a person for non-activity. This could be used for a

person living alone to detect when they have not tripped a disarmed zone within a

programmed period of time.

Arm/Disarm Activity Days: Select the number of days a countdown timer is set for area arming and

disarming activity. The range for the countdown timer is 00 to 99 days. Each time an area is armed or

disarmed, the timer is restarted. When the timer counts down to zero because of no arming or

disarming activity, the panel sends a "XX Days No Arming/Disarming" message to the receiver. After

the message is sent, the timer does not restart until a panel reset occurs or an area is armed or

disarmed.

Page 207: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Note: For the message to be sent to the receiver, Supervisory/Troubles must be selected in

Panel > Communications > Receiver 1 or Receiver 2.

Entry Delay 1: Enter the Entry Delay time for all exit-type zones programmed to use Entry Delay 1.

When an armed Exit type zone is faulted, the keypad prewarn tone begins sounding. "ENTER CODE: -"

and the name of the zone causing the Entry Delay displays on all keypads.

When the first digit of a code is entered, the prewarn tone stops at the keypad. If, within five

seconds, a valid user code is not entered or an invalid user code is entered, the prewarn tone begins

sounding again. Fifteen seconds must elapse before entering a digit silences the prewarn tone again.

The area must be disarmed before the entry delay expires or an Alarm Message is sent to the receiver

and an alarm sounds. All Burglary type zones in all areas are delayed along with the Exit zone.

Entry delay times can be from 30 to 250 seconds. Repeat the above for Entry Delay 2 if it is being

used. Default is 30 seconds for Entry Delay 1.

Note: Specific Exit Error operation is based on the Entry Delay used (1 or 2) with an EX type

zone. See Exit Delay.

Exit Delay: Enter the exit delay time for all Exit type zones. When the exit delay time begins all

activity on exit and burglary zones is ignored until the exit delay expires. The keypad displays the Exit

Delay time countdown and annunciates the Exit Delay tone at 8 second intervals until the last 10

seconds when annunciation is at 3 second intervals. The exit delay can be from 45 to 250 seconds.

Default is 60 seconds.

During Exit Delay, if an exit zone trips, then restores, and trips again, the Exit Delay timer restarts.

This restart can occur only once.

Note: When Communication Type is NET, the Exit Delay restart does not occur.

Exit Error Operation: At arming, when an entry/exit zone (EX) is faulted at the end of the exit delay

then one of two sequences occur:

For Entry Delay 1 EX type zones:

the bell sounds for the length of time set in Bell Cutoff programming

the Entry Delay operation starts, requiring code entry to disarm

if not disarmed, a zone alarm and an Exit Error are sent to the receiver

For Entry Delay 2 EX type zones:

the zone is force armed and a zone force arm message is sent to the receiver

an Exit Error is sent to the receiver

the bell sounds for the length of time set in Bell Cutoff programming

Cross Zone Time: Enter the time allowed between zone faults. When zones are cross zoned, the same

zone or a second cross zoned zone must fault within this time in order for an alarm report for both

zones to be sent to the receiver. If the cross zone time expires without the second zone faulting, only

a zone fault from the first zone is reported. Cross-zone time can be from 4 to 250 seconds. Entering 0

(zero) disables this function.

Power Fail Delay: Tracks the duration of an AC power failure. When the AC power is off for the

length of the programmed delay time, an AC power failure report is sent to the receiver. The delay

time can be from 1 to 15 hours. If you enter a 0 (zero), the panel sends the AC power failure report

after a 15-second delay.

Exit Delay: Enter the exit delay time for all Exit type zones. When the exit delay time starts, all

activity on exit and burglary zones is ignored until the exit delay expires. During Exit Delay, if an exit

zone trips, then restores, and trips again the Exit Delay timer restarts. This restart can occur only

once. Exit delay times can be from 30 to 250 seconds. Default is 60 seconds.

Exit Error Operation: At arming, when any entry/exit zone (EX) is faulted at the end of the exit delay

then a zone alarm and an Exit Error are sent to the receiver.

Cross Zone Time: Enter the time allowed between zone faults. When a zone programmed for cross

zoning faults, the communicator begins counting down the Cross-Zone Time entered here. If the same

zone or another cross-zoned zone faults within this time, an alarm report is sent to the receiver.

If the Cross-Zone Time expires without the second zone fault, only a zone fault report from the first

zone is sent to the receiver. The Cross-Zone Time can be from 4 to 250 seconds in one second

increments. Enter 0 (zero) to disable the Cross-Zone Time feature.

Power Fail Delay: Tracks the duration of an AC power failure. When the AC power is off for the

length of the programmed delay time, an AC power failure report is sent to the receiver. The delay

time can be from 1 to 9 hours. Entering a 0 (zero) sends the AC power failure report after a 15-second

delay.

For example, if the power failure delay is set for two hours, then the power failure report will be sent

between 2-3 hours.

or the schedule is changed.

Late/Arm Delay : Enter 4 to 250 minutes to delay before automatic re-arming occurs

after the area becomes disarmed outside of schedules. Default is 60 minutes.

Note: The late Arm Delay can be superseded by the Re Arm Delay setting of

the User Profile assigned to teh user who disarmed the area. Refer to the

Re Arm Delay section in the XR150/XR350/XR550 Series Users Guide (LT-

1278).

Auto Arming: Selecting this box will allow this area to arm automatically as

scheduled. If no schedules are programmed and this option is selected, the area will

auto arm every hour. Leaving the Auto Arm box empty will disable automatic

arming for this area.

If Closing Check is enabled, the automatic arming function does not take place until

the expiration of the a ten minute Closing Check delay. See Closing Check. If the

area has been disarmed outside of any schedule, the closing check sequence occurs

one hour after the area is disarmed.

At arming, bad zones are handled according to the option selected in Bad Zones. If

a closing report is sent, the user number is indicated as SCH on the SCS-1R

receiver.

On XR500 Series panels, if within ten minutes after the schedule expires, the system

is not armed or a temporary schedule is not entered to extend the closing time, a

Late to Close report is sent. When Auto Arm is YES, the area arms. If the area

becomes disarmed outside of any schedule, the Closing Check sequence occurs

after the Late/Arm Delay time.

When Closing Check is NO and Automatic Arming is YES, the system immediately

arms when the schedule ends. No warning tone occurs. When NO is selected at the

Closing Check prompt, the Extend Time option does not display when a schedule

expires.

an exit zone is not tripped during the exit delay time.

Bank Safe & Vault: When this option is selected, the area can only be disarmed

during scheduled times. Not selecting this box will disable Bank Safe & Vault

mode for this area.

Note: Do not assign Bank Safe & Vault areas to an Arming zone. Arming

zones can disarm Bank Safe & Vault areas outside of a schedule.

Common Area: Selecting this box will enable the area to operate as a common

area. This area is armed when the last area in the partition is armed and is

disarmed when the first area in the partition is disarmed. You can have multiple

common areas in each partition.

Two Man Rule: Checking this box will require two user code entries to disarm or

allow door access in this area. When a user presents a code to a keypad or reader

requesting door access or disarm, the keypad will display "2ND CODE". A second

user code with at least the same authority must be entered to allow entry or to

disarm.

Arm First: Enables the area to operate as an Arm First area. This area

automatically arms when any non-Arm First area assigned to the same keypad is

armed but does not disarm when other areas become disarmed. If an Arm First area

has faulted zones that cannot be bypassed, arming stops. Default value is NO.

Swinger Bypass (XT30INT, XT30/XT50, XTL/XTLN/XTLN-WiFi): Allows the zone to be bypassed

by the panel after two alarms, troubles, or local trips within one hour. The bypass condition displays in

the keypad Status List.

Retard (XR150INT/XR550INT, XR150/XR550, XR100/XR500): This option is only available for the

following zone types: Fire, Auxiliary 1, Auxiliary 2, Arming, Panic or Supervisory. Programs the zone to

operate with the zone retard delay as specified in the Retard Delay field in the System Options

window. Zone retard functions only in zone short conditions. The zone must remain shorted for the full

length of the retard delay before the panel recognizes the shorted condition. If the arming zone has

Maintain as the style, the retard delay also occurs when the zone returns to a normal state.

Fast Response (XR150INT/XR550INT, XR150/XR550, XR100/XR500): Provides a zone response

time of 327ms. Leave this field blank to provide a normal zone response time of 500ms. LX-Bus zones

have a fixed response time of 200ms.

Cross Zone: Enables cross zoning for this zone. Cross zoning requires one or more armed zones to

fault within a programmed time before an alarm report is sent to the central station. The length of the

programmed time is designated in the Cross Zone Seconds field in Program > System Options.

Note: To operate correctly, all cross-zone zones need to be programmed as the same zone

type.

When a cross-zoned zone trips, the output action assigned to the zone activates and the cross-zone

time specified in Program > System Options begins to count down. If another cross-zoned zone faults

or if the first zone restores and faults again before a sensor reset is performed, the panel sends an

alarm report to the central station. If no other cross-zoned zones trip before the cross-zone time

expires, the panel sends only a zone fault report to the central station.

Note: You cannot enable cross zoning for Fire Verify zones or for any Fire zone type that is

programmed with a retard delay.

Priority Zone : Requires this zone to be in a normal condition before arming its assigned area.

Fire Panel Slave (XR150INT/XR550INT, XR150/XR550, XR100/XR500): This option is available

on Fire Zones (FI) only and allows a fire zone the ability to provide slave communication operation for

a separate fire alarm control panel. If selected, this zone will transmit a restoral immediately when

restored by the fire panel being monitored. A sensor reset is not required to generate the restoral

message.

If not selected, this zone will operate as a standard fire type zone and a sensor reset is required

before the zone will return to normal.

Traffic Count (XT30INT, XT30/XT50, XTL, XTLN, XTLN-WiFi, XR150/XR550 Series Version 109

or higher): This option is only displayed for Night (NT) and Exit (EX) type zones. If selected, provides

reporting to the receiver of the number of zone trips per area while in a disarmed state. Traffic Count

addresses designated in this field display "ENTER CODE: -"

To enter a keypad address, click once in the field to select it and type the number key for the desired

keypad address. The number appears in the field. To turn off an address number, type the number

that appears in the Prewarn field that you wish to remove.

Note: On XR150INT/XR550INT Series, XR150/XR550 Series, XR500 Series, and XR100 Series

panels, the prewarn tone stops at the keypad when the first user code digit is entered. If no

keys are pressed for five seconds or an invalid user code is entered, the prewarn tone

resumes.

Note: XR550INT Series, XR550 Series, and XR500 Series panels support up to 32 keypads.

XR350 Series panels support up to 16 keypads. All other panels support up to eight keypads.

Presignal: If Retard is selected for a zone, the Prewarn field changes to the Presignal field. A

presignal tone is indicated by a warning tone sounding from the keypad, but not from any other

notification devices, and no signal is sent to the central station. Presignal allows you to enable any

combination of keypad addresses to sound a presignal tone during the time a zone is in retard delay.

Retard only functions in zone short conditions.

Armed Areas (XT30INT, XT30, XT50, XTL/XTLN/XTLN-WiFi): When Arming is selected as the

Zone Type, the Prewarn field changes to Armed Areas. Select the area numbers to be armed when this

zone is faulted.

Entry Delay Number: Select the entry timer for this zone. The Entry Delay Number refers to the Entry

Delay fields in the System Options window. Enter a number (1 to 4) to assign the entry delay time for

each exit-type zone.

Program > Zone Inform ation

The following Zone Types can be programmed. Select the desired type from the drop-down menu. Only

those that apply to the panel and mode are shown in the drop-down menu.

Blank (--): Selecting Blank will program the zone to send all alarm data to the central station, but

will suppress the name of the zone from displaying at the central station.

Night (NT): A controlled instant zone used for perimeter doors and windows and interior devices

such as motion detectors and glass break detectors.

Day (DY): Used for emergency doors or fire doors to sound the keypad buzzer and display the

zone name when the zone is faulted. Day zones will send alarm reports to the receiver during the

Page 256: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

system's armed periods.

Exit (EX): Initiates the entry delay timer when its assigned area is armed. It also initiates an exit

delay timer to allow a user to exit an area after the arming process has started.

Panic (PN): Used for connecting to devices that allow a user to signal an emergency alarm. Panic

zones can provide either a silent or audible alarm with or without reporting to a central station

receiver.

Emergency (EM): Used for reporting medical or other non-panic emergencies to the central

station receiver.

Auxiliary 1 (A1) and Auxiliary 2 (A2): These zones are similar to a Night zone and are typically

used to protect restricted areas within a protected premise.

The Zone Retard Delay time (1 -to 250 seconds) for A2 and Arming zones keeps momentary

blockages or shadows from tripping the zone.

Supervisory (SV): Used to provide 24-hour zone supervision to devices associated with fire

systems. Typical applications are tamper switches on Post Indicator Valves (PIVs), gate valves,

and low and high temperature gauges.

Fire (FI): Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications

are for smoke detectors, sprinkler flowswitches, manual pull stations, and beam detectors.

Retard, cross zoning, and pre-signal options are available for the Fire zone type.

Fire Verify (FV): Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual

fire condition. When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a Sensor Reset. If

any Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If

an alarm is initiated after another 120 seconds, the cycle is repeated.

Arming Zone (AR): This zone allows you to connect a keyswitch on a zone and use it to arm and

disarm one or more areas within a partition. In the XR200 and XR2400F version 112 and higher,

and the XR200-485 version 206 and higher, when connecting to a light sensor, using Maintain with

Retard Delay will allow arming at dusk and disarming at dawn, ignoring momentary changes in

light intensity, such as shadows or headlights.

AR Style: When programming an Arming zone, some panels allow you to select an Arming Style.

This allows for different actions of the arming zones.

The options in the AR Style menu are:

Toggle: When the zone changes from normal to shorted, the programmed areas toggle

between the armed or disarmed condition. When restored to normal, no action occurs. When

the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported. When opened from

a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled until you disarm the

area(s) from either a keypad or Remote Link computer.

Arm: When the zone is shorted, the programmed areas are armed. When restored to normal,

no action occurs. When the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is

reported. When opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported.

Disarm: When programmed as an Area system, a short will disarm the programmed areas.

When programmed as an All/Perimeter or Home/Away system, a short will disarm all areas.

When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone is opened from a normal

(disarmed) state, a trouble is reported.

Step: When programmed as an Area system, a short will arm the areas and beep the keypads

once. When programmed as All/Perimeter or Home/Away, on the first short Home (Perimeter)

Page 257: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

will arm and beep the keypads once. On the second short, Sleep will arm for Home/Away

systems and beep the keypads twice. When programmed as All/Perimeter, the interior will

arm and beep the keypads twice. On the third short, Away will arm and beep the keypads three

times. A normal condition will cause no action. An open condition will disarm the programmed

areas and beep the keypads for one second.

Note: This arming style is designed for wireless arming pendants. When using an arming/

disarming keyswitch locate the keyswitch within the protected area.

Maintain: When the zone is shorted, the programmed areas are armed. When restored to

normal, the programmed areas are disarmed and any alarm bells are silenced. When the zone

is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported. If opened from a shorted

(armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled until you disarm the area(s) from

either a keypad or Remote Link computer.

How It Works:

If within one hour, a zone trips the total number of times as specified in Swinger Bypass Trips, the

panel bypasses it until the following conditions occur;

the area in which the zone is assigned is disarmed

the zone is manually reset through the Bypass Zones? keypad User Menu function

the Reset Swinger Bypass is enabled

Retard: Selecting this box programs the zone to operate with the zone retard delay as specified in the

Zone Retard Delay field in the System Options window. Zone retard only functions in zone short

conditions. The zone must remain shorted for the full length of the retard delay before the panel

recognizes the shorted condition. If the arming zone has Maintain as the style, the retard delay also

occurs when the zone returns to a normal state. If you leave this field blank, the zone operates

without a retard delay.

Fast Response: Select this box to provide a zone response time of 167ms. Leave this field blank to

provide a normal zone response time of 500ms. LX-Bus zones have a fixed response time of 200ms.

Cross Zone: Select this field to enable cross zoning for this zone. Cross zoning requires one or more

armed zones to fault within a programmed time before an alarm report is sent to the central station.

The length of the programmed time is designated in the Cross Zone Time field in Program > System

Options.

Note: To operate correctly, all cross-zone zones need to be programmed as the same zone

type.

When a cross-zoned zone trips, the bell action assigned to the zone activates and the cross zone

seconds specified in System Options begins to count down. If a second cross-zoned zone faults, or if

the first zone restores and faults again before a sensor reset is performed, the panel sends an alarm

report to the central station. If no other cross-zoned zone trips before the cross-zone time expires,

the panel sends only a zone fault report to the central station.

Note: You cannot enable cross zoning for Fire Verify zones or for any Fire zone type that is

programmed with a retard delay.

Priority Zone: Select this box to require this zone to be in a normal condition before its assigned area

can be armed.

Program > Ho liday Dates

Setting Holiday Dates provides the system with dates in the year when the normal opening and closing

schedules are not used and superseded by one of the Holiday Schedules A, B, or C. When the panel

determines that it is a holiday, the Holiday Schedule supersedes the current schedule for that day.

Three Holiday Schedules are available. This allows an output, area, or door to have three different

schedules for holidays. For example, Holiday Schedule A for those holidays when the building stays

closed, Holiday B for a day that only opens for a morning, etc. Also, Holiday Schedules can be used to

cross multiple days or to arm only specific areas of a building.

Number: Assign a number to the holiday date. You may assign up to 20 holiday dates for XR100/XR500

Series or up to 40 holiday dates for XR150INT/XR550INT Series and XR150/XR350/XR550 Series

panels.

Name: Enter up to 32 characters for the name of the holiday.

The Schedules window allows you to program the times at which you normally turn your burglary

protection on and off each day of the week. This information can then be used by the system to

automatically arm or disarm the burglary protection.

You can also use the Closing Check/Extend feature with Schedules to ensure your system is armed by

an authorized user at a specific time. This option sounds the keypad buzzer and displays CLOSING

TIME! when a schedule expires. Users still on the premises are required to arm the system or extend

the schedule. If the system is not armed, or the schedule is not extended, a report can be sent to the

central station and/or an email address or cell phone. When a schedule expires and CLOSING TIME!

displays, the keypad next displays ENTER CODE: -. To silence the keypad buzzer and extend the

schedule for one hour, a user must either enter a valid user code or present a card to the card reader.

Permanent Schedules are used for automatic arming and disarming an area and will always occur at

the same time until you change or delete the schedule. When you turn on Auto Arm or Auto Disarm in

Area Information, the area will use this schedule to arm or disarm automatically. One schedule is

available for one or all areas.

windows during which users can access the building or disarm the system. Having separate schedules

allows you to create Opening/Closing windows for each day. One could be for normal business activity

and another could be for cleaning crews or a second shift. Once created, these schedules operate

continually until changed.

The Schedules function allows you to program into the system the times at which you normally turn

your burglary protection on and off each day of the week. If you system does not use automatic

arming, you can use the Closing Check/Extend feature with Schedules to help ensure your system is

Note: When programming area schedules, you must enter both an opening and a closing time

for each day that you are programming. The panel will disregard a schedule if it sees only an

opening time, but no closing time, and vice versa.

If you want a schedule to run over multiple days, that is, you want the system to disarm on one day

and remain disarmed until later that week, you may schedule this when you enter the closing time. In

the closing field, enter the time and day of the week that you want to schedule the closing.

Example: In the Monday Opening field enter 8:00 AM. In the Monday Closing field enter 5:00 PM FRI.

With this schedule, the system will disarm at 8:00 AM Monday morning and arm Friday at 5:00 PM.

Note: Some panels allow the entry of Holiday schedules. The Holiday fields will display at the bottom of

the Opening and Closing columns if they are available on the panel type. Enter the opening and closing

time for the holiday, then choose the dates you wish to assign for the holiday schedule in Program >

The main group in the Alarm List window displays all alarm signals. When alarm signals are received,

they display on a violet background until acknowledged. After the alarm signal is acknowledged, the

color changes according to the type of message received. See Ack - F6 for a list of acknowledged

colors.

The most recently received and highest priority messages display on the top of the list. The audible

alert tone continues to sound until all messages have been acknowledged.

Note: You may resize the columns in the Alarm List by placing your cursor in the top row

containing the column headings. Drag the column to the right or left to adjust the size of the

column. To make an account active, select a message in the Alarm List by clicking anywhere

in the message line.

Account: Lists the account number that is transmitting an alarm message. This is the first column

on the left-hand side of the screen.

Message: Lists all of the pertinent information for the incoming signal. The Message field can hold

up to three lines of text. The information listed in the Message field is as follows:

Zone Number: The zone number that is in alarm is listed here. If the signal does not include

a zone number, a Report Identifier is displayed here. Common Report Identifiers are warning,

alert, and abort.

Zone Name: The zone name that is in alarm is displayed here. The zone name can be up to

16 characters long.

Page 286: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Report Type: The type of signal displays, such as Alarm, Panic, or Trouble.

No Account Record: If a signal has been received from an account that is not in the

database, "No account record" will display in the second line of the Message field.

Restoral Status: If a signal has been received, but a restoral signal was not received "Not

Restored" will display in the second line of the Message field. When the restoral signal is

received, "Not Restored" will no longer display in this field.

Rpt. (Repeat Count): Lists the number of times repeat signals have been received. If a signal has

been received one time, a 0 (zero) displays here. If the exact same message is received from the

same account, the Repeat Count increases to 1 (one). The message returns to the violet color,

indicating its unacknowledged state. The alert tone also sounds until the message is acknowledged.

The repeat count increases by increments of one each time repeat signals are received.

Time (Time Received): Lists the time and date the alarm signal was received. In the case that a

signal has been received multiple times, also called a Repeat Count message, the Time column

displays the date and time of the first signal received. To view the other dates and times a Repeat

Count signal occurred, print a report by pressing the Print button.

Note: Remote Link receives the time and date from the Windows Operating System. If a site

is in a different time zone than the central station receiver, alarm signal's date and time

would be based upon the central station's date and time.

Ackn. (Acknowledge Time): Displays the time and date the signal was acknowledged by the

operator. In the case that a signal has been received multiple times, also called a Repeat Count

message, the Ackn. column displays the date and time of the last time the signal was acknowledged.

System > Alarm List

When alarm and trouble messages are received, Remote Link displays them in the Alarm List. The last

signal to be received is displayed on the top row of the Alarm List. Incoming signals are displayed on a

violet background until you acknowledge them.

Messages are sorted by priority. First, they are sorted by acknowledged and unacknowledged, with the

unacknowledged signals above the acknowledged signals. Within these two categories, signals are

then sorted by event type and time received. Messages with the highest priority and those that were

received the most recently display at the top of the Alarm List.

Example: If a fire alarm was received at the same time a zone trouble was received, the fire alarm

would appear above the zone trouble signal. This is to ensure that proper and timely action is taken on

each incoming signal.

If more than one unacknowledged message is displayed in the Alarm List, the messages are prioritized

in the following order:

1. Fire Alarms

2. Panic Alarms

3. Burglary Alarms

4. All Supervisory

5. All Emergency

6. Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 Alarms

7. Fire Troubles

System > A larm G rid

The Alarm Grid window enables you to view all account alarm activity by simply watching a grid. Each

segment of the grid represents one subscriber account. When the mouse moves over each segment of

the grid, the account information is displayed in a small pop-up window. Click once to open the

account's Alarm List that displays information about the account and the alarm signals.

Arranging the Alarm Grid Window

The accounts in the Alarm Grid window are arranged in numerical order, according to receiver number

and account number. The segments are filled from left to right and top to bottom: The lowest account

number will be listed before higher account numbers. For example, account 1-12 appears before

account 1-22.

Also, all accounts reporting to receiver 1 are listed before those reporting to receiver 2 and above. For

example, account 1-12345 appears before account 2-12345.

Use the scrollbar on the right of the grid to move up and down in the grid. When an alarm occurs on an

account that is not in the screen, the Command Center automatically scrolls to the necessary segment.

Prioritizing Alarm Signals in the Alarm Grid Window

Messages are sorted by priority according to event type and time received. The Command Center will

display the segments with messages that have the highest priority and those that are received more

recently before scrolling to others.

If two alarms occur at the same time but cannot fit on the screen together, the Command Center first

displays the account segment with the higher priority alarm. After the highest priority alarm is

acknowledged, the Command Center then brings the next highest priority account segment to view.

For example, if a fire alarm is received at the same time a zone trouble is received, the Command

Center scrolls to the segment with the fire alarm and then the segment with the zone trouble. This is

to ensure that proper and timely action is taken on each incoming signal. Messages are prioritized in

the following order:

1. Fire Alarms

2. Panic Alarms

3. Burglary Alarms

4. All Supervisory

5. All Emergency

6. Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 Alarms

7. Fire Troubles

8. Other Fire (CleanMe™, zone fault, etc.)

The Advanced Reporting module provides you with powerful filtering capabilities to create specific

reports for your needs. You can create reports using the panel's event buffer, or you may create

reports using the Host Log Reports feature in the XT30/XT50, CellComSL, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series,

and XR500/XR100 Series panels. You can also generate reports received from an SCS-105, SCS-1

Receiver. Additionally, you may connect to the Advanced Reporting module through a direct connection

or network connection.

Advanced Reporting provides ten Report Categories from which you can create the reports. These

categories allow you to filter out the information that you do not need so the reports are concise and

manageable.

Saving reports in up to seven other formats, such as a text file, provides you with added flexibility to

use the reports in a method that best suits your needs. You can then export the reports to another

program for archiving, storing, and integrating with other company information.

Note: If you are using the Advanced Reporting Module with another module, such as Alarm

Monitoring, do not enable Host Log Reports. The Advanced Reporting Module will generate

reports using the same messages sent to Alarm Monitoring or the Command Center.

To configure the Advanced Reporting Module to accept signals through a direct connection or a

network connection, make the appropriate selections in the Modules Tab of Remote Link

Configuration. See the Advanced Reporting User's Guide (LT-0645) for more information.

The DMP SQL Module allows larger corporate users to take advantage of existing Microsoft SQL Server

installations they already have in place. This module allows an administrator to configure an ODBC

connection to an existing Microsoft SQL Server installation, on which it will then create the database

structure necessary to store all of the DMP panel programming information.

The module also allows the administrator to export all existing DMP panel programming information

from the standard DBISAM database, and then import that information into a newly created Microsoft

SQL database. The SQL Module is an add-on module to your Remote Link and System Link software

programs.

Remote Link is designed to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. All editions of Microsoft SQL Server

2008 R2 are supported, including the SQL Server 2008 Express edition.

Both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of SQL Server are supported by Link. Install the version that

corresponds to the operating system version of the machine which the Server will operate. For

example, if running the server on Windows 7 64-bit, install the 64-bit version of SQL Server.

Note: Remote Link and SQL Server do not have to be installed on the same machine. Using

Remote Link on a 32-bit machine with SQL Server on a 64-bit machine (or vice-versus) is

supported.

Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express also installs the database and management tools including SQL

Server Management Studio (SSMS). This tool can be used to connect and examine the database used

by Remote Link.

If Remote Link is configured to use SQL Server via a DSN and is not able to log in at startup, a login

screen will appear:

Page 305: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

The user should contact the database administrator to find the correct options. If SQL Server

Authentication is chosen, a User Name and Password must be provided. This is the SQL username and

password, not the Remote Link username and password.

The login screen will appear the first time the user runs Remote Link with SQL Server or anytime the

SQL username or password is changed by the administrator. After a successful login the user will not

be prompted again unless something changes on the database side.

For users of Remote Link in mission-critical applications (such as central station monitoring), it is

recommended that an experienced SQL Server administrator performs setup and administrative

duties. This includes initial setup, firewall configuration, database replication, backup, repair, and

other site specific configuration.

When using Link with SQL Server, all backup and repair operations must be performed by the database

administrator, using SQL Server management tools. Remote Link does not perform these operations.

When using Link with the built-in database engine, or with Link Server, Link can still be used to

perform database backup and repair operations.

The database administrator should create an empty database.

Any user created to be used for SQL Server authentication must have permission to read, write,

modify and delete all tables.

An ODBC Data Source will need to be created to allow Link to connect to the new Link database. For

more information, go to Setting up ODBC Data Source.

Page 306: Remote Link User Guide

© 2016 Digital Monitoring Products

Setting up ODBC Data SourceTo use Remote Link with Microsoft SQL Server, a ODBC Data Source must be set up on the user's

machine.

NOTE: If setting up the DSN on a Windows 7 64 bit system you need to use a 32 bit version of

the ODBC configuration utility. The executable is odbcad32.exe can be found within C:

\Windows\System32\.

Add a System DSN for SQL Server.1. For Windows XP: Start > Settings->Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC)

to open ODBC Data Source Administrator.

For Windows 7: Start >Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) to open

ODBC Data Source Administrator.

2. Select System DSN tab.

3. Press Add...

4. In Create New Data Source window, select 'SQL Server', then press Finish

5. In Create a New Data Source to SQL Server window

a. Give the data source a Name and Description. Make note of the name you assign.

b. Select the server from the dropdown.

IMPORTANT: If you are running SQL Server Express, add \SQLEXPRESS to the end of the

server name. It may also be necessary to add the port 1433 at the end of the name. For

example 'MY_SERVER_NAME_OR_IP_ADDRESS\SQLEXPRESS,1433'

c. Press Next

d. Consult with your database administrator to determine whether to use Windows NT

Authentication or SQL Server Authentication. If using SQL Server Authentication, use the

Login ID and Password priovided by the administrator.

e. Press Next

f. Change default database to the Link database.

g. Press Next

h. Press Finish

6. Test Data Source

NOTE: If setting up the DSN on a Windows 7 64 bit system you need to use a 32 bit version of

the ODBC configuration utility. The executable is odbcad32.exe and can be found within C:

\Windows\System32\

The SQL Server Module allows the administrator to export all existing DMP panel programming

information from the standard DBISAM database, and then import that information into a newly

created Microsoft SQL database.

1. Backup database. While using the SQL Server Module, Remote Link does not automatically

backup the database.

2. Make sure Remote Link has been upgraded to 1.60 including updating the database.

Q. How do I make the SCS-105 receiver dial DTMF?

A. In the System > Configure > Remote Link window, click on the Receiver tab. In the section titled

Communications Options, check the box labeled Tone Dial. This will cause the SCS-105 receiver to

tone dial. The SCS-1 or SCS-1R receiver will always pulse dial.

Q. Can I set a schedule that disarms in the evening and arms in the morning?

A. Yes. For the panel to recognize a schedule as being valid, it must see an opening time before the

closing time. This still applies to set a schedule that runs through midnight. Program the schedule as

follows: In the Monday Opening field enter 8:00 PM. In the Monday Closing field enter 7:00 AM TUE.

With this schedule, the system will disarm at 8:00 PM Monday and arm Tuesday at 7:00 AM. Repeat

for each day of the week that you wish to schedule. This keeps the opening time before the closing

time.

Q. Is Remote Link compatible with Windows 3.1?

A. No. Remote Link is designed to work with Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Q. I just installed Remote Link. Now what do I do?

A. You first need to log in and configure the Remote Link program. See Remote Link Configuration for

more information.

Q. What do I need to do for normal maintenance on my Remote Link computer?

A. As with any computer running Windows and Windows applications, you should have a program of

regular maintenance to keep the system optimized. The Microsoft® Windows™ User's Guide has a

chapter titled Maintaining Windows with Setup that you should refer to for information. Set a regular

schedule to backup your database files.

Q. What happens to my user codes when I change the account number on a panel or when I change the

number of partitions in a 1912XR, XR200, XR200-485 or a XR2400F panel?

A. When you change the number of partitions in a panel, all of the user codes are deleted and the

factory default code 99 is loaded for each partition. This is to prevent user codes from being assigned

to the wrong partition. It is recommended that you print a copy of your user codes before changing

partition numbers.

Q. What is the Receiver Timeout Message? Why do I get an hourglass mouse cursor before I get this

message?

A. The receiver and computer are not communicating correctly. Check the connections between your

computer and receiver.

Q. In some places I see my account number listed as 12345, while in other places it is listed as 1-

12345. Which is it?

A. The account number is the number that displays after the dash, while the first digit is the receiver

number. In this example, 1-12345 is the receiver number (1) followed by the 5 digit account number

(12345). When programming the panel, enter 12345 for the account number.

Q. What is the default Log on user name and password?

A. new

Q. Where do I enter Closing Code, Area Schedules, and other Area Information options?

A. From the Area Information window, click on the Partition Info button on the lower left side of the

screen. This is where you program items that affect the entire partition. In XTL Series, XT Series, and

XT30INT Series, Control Panels, Closing Code is in System Options Section of Programming. In XR100/

XR500 Series, XR150/XR350/XR550 Series, and XR150INT/XR550INT Series, Closing Code is

programmed in Area Information.

Q. I've logged on to Remote Link but several of the options are not available.

A. Go to System > Operator Configuration to confirm the options for the operator. Make sure that the

boxes are checked for each option you want assigned to the operator. Also keep in mind that not all

options are available for each panel type.

Q. A new panel will not stay on-line with Remote Link. The panel will seize the line then immediately

hang up.

A. The account number in the file you have open while trying to connect with a panel must match the

account number programmed into the panel. If you are trying to connect to a panel with the default

account number (12345) and send an existing file, this can be done. However you must first connect

to the panel with the panel's account number. Once connected, this account number can be changed to

a unique account number. See the note in the Connect section of this help file for detailed

instructions.

(one second on for one time only), and follow (on when the zone is off normal, off when the zone

restores).

activity report - a record of openings, closing, alarms, and other signals received from a protected

premise and maintained by the central station alarm company.

address - 1. a switch setting on a keypad, zone expander, or other device that reflects its assigned

position on a data bus. Zone expanders, for example, are addressed so that the panel is able to

associate its on-board zones with their programmed location and characteristics held in memory. 2. A

sequence of bits used to identify devices on a network. Each network device must have a unique

address. Addresses fall in two categories: physical hardware addresses and logical protocol addresses.

addressable device - an alarm system component with discrete identification that can have its status

individually identified or that is used to individually control other functions.

adverse condition - any condition occurring in a communications or transmission channel that

interferes with the proper transmission or interpretation, or both, of status change signals at the

supervising station.

alarm company on leased telephone lines or the switched network. Every alarm system must have an

alarm signal.

alarm silence - a keypad menu function that allows authorized users to silence alarm bells or sirens

during an alarm condition on the system. Users can also enter their user code and press the command

key directly from the status list. This is an exclusive function of DMP panels that allows silence of

alarm bells without disarming the system.

alarm system - a combination of compatible initiating devices, control panels, and notification

appliances designed and installed to produce an alarm signal in the event of emergencies.

all/perimeter - a panel mode of operation that provides for the system to be configured into just two

areas: a perimeter and an interior. Exterior doors and windows are assigned to the perimeter while

inside PIRs, doors, or pressure mats are assigned to the interior area.

alphanumeric - term used to describe letters and numbers together.

ambush - a silent, invisible alarm signal sent to the central station that indicates a user is being

forced to disarm the system. The ambush code is sent when ambushed is programmed as YES in the

panel and a code for user number one is entered at the keypad. DMP panels use a unique ambush code

number to prevent false alarms.

ambush code - a special code entered into a digital keypad to indicate a duress condition that directly

threatens the user. This code does not activate signaling devices at the premises.

ambush output - a panel output that is programmed to activate any time an ambush code is entered

at a keypad. The output is turned off using the sensor reset option from the user menu. This output

is used to lock down areas or activate strobes, etc.

granted access on their next attempt. Also, see egress.

any bypass - a panel programming feature that allows low level users to bypass zones during the

arming sequence without having to enter a higher level user code.

area - part of a protected premise that is programmed to operate separately from the other areas.

Areas can have their own keypads, zones, account numbers, and arming and disarming schedules.

area arming - a panel mode of operation that provides for one or more areas to be individually armed

and disarmed.

area schedules - a programming option that allows you to automatically arm and disarm areas within

a system. This is done by entering schedules in the panel programming.

arm - to turn on the burglary or other non-24-hour hour protection in a protected premises.

armed - a condition in which a zone or system can be placed. When a zone is armed, a change in its

normal state causes the panel to activate an alarm. Fire, panic, and other 24-hour zones are

considered always armed.

armed output - a programming option that allows an output to be controlled by the arming cycle of an

area.

armed rings - the number of rings the panel counts before answering the phone line when all areas of

the system are armed.

arming zone - a DMP zone type that allows you to use keyswitches to arm and disarm areas within a

system. This is done by entering the area number(s) to be controlled into the area section of the

arming zone programming.

asynchronous communication - a technique of data transmission that sends one character at a time

without waiting for an acknowledgement.

authority level - a level of access to the system and its functions that is assigned to each user code.

Each area must have at least one user with a master authority in order to be able to add, change, or

delete other users.

auto arm - to automatically turn on the burglary protection in one or more areas through the use of

schedules. These schedules allow you to set the time of day for the arming to occur. If using the

automatic arming feature along with the closing check (see closing check), the arming does not take

place until the expiration of a ten-minute closing check delay. If the area has been disarmed outside

of any schedule, the closing check sequence occurs one hour after the area is disarmed. At arming,

bad zones are handled according to the bypass option selected. If a closing report is sent to the central

station, the user number is indicated as SCH (for schedule) on the receiver.

auto disarm - to automatically turn off the burglary protection in one or more areas through the use

of schedules. These schedules allow you to set the time of day for the disarming to occur. If an

opening report is sent to the central station at disarming, the user number is indicated as SCH (for

schedule) on the receiver.

automatic recall test - a signal generated by the panel that is sent to the central station. This signal

indicates that the panel communicator is working properly and is able to send signals to the central

station receiver.

automation software - central station software that receives signals from an alarm receiver and

displays alarms on a display screen to allow dispatching of the proper authorities.

away - a panel arming mode in which all areas of the system are armed. This option is for when the

"B" Zone (Style A) - a circuit extending from a fire alarm control device or transmitter to which

initiating or notification devices are connected. The zone is terminated with an end-of-line

supervision resistor.

backup - as used in programming for receiver one and receiver two reporting, choosing YES for this

option means that the receiver will be contacted by the panel in the event the primary receiver cannot

be reached.

Bank, Safe, and Vault - an area operating characteristic that prevents disarming, schedule changes,

and time/date changes during armed periods. This feature is typically used on bank vaults, but can

also be used for restricted access storage, gun rooms, or other areas for which the user wants an

extra level of protection.

bell - alarm bell - a bell or siren installed on the protected premises that gives indication of an alarm

condition to persons inside or nearby.

bell action - a zone programming option that defines the action of the alarm bell output for alarms on

that zone.

none: no bell action for an alarm condition on the zone.

pulsed: a repeating one second on, one second off bell output for the duration of the programmed bell

cutoff time.

steady: a steady, uninterrupted bell output for the duration of the programmed bell cutoff time.

temporal code: a repeating 0.5 second on, 0.5 second off (three times) followed by 2.5 seconds off.

This lasts for the duration of the programmed bell cutoff time.

bell cutoff - the length of time the alarm bell or siren is programmed to ring after an alarm. DMP

panels allow a programmable length of time in one-minute increments. Entering a zero allows the bell

output to run continuously. AHJ requirements for bell cutoff can vary but it is typically between five

and 15 minutes.

prior to alarm and opens on alarm.

closing check - this programming option enables the panel to verify that all areas in a partition that

has been armed after primary/secondary or permanent/temporary schedules have expired. If the

closing check finds any areas disarmed past the scheduled time, the keypad selected to display system

trouble status emits a steady beep and displays CLOSING TIME! If you also select area schedules, the

appropriate area name is displayed followed by - LATE. The keypad's steady beep is silenced by

pressing any top row select key. If the system is not armed or a temporary schedule not extended

within ten minutes, a no closing report is sent to the central station receiver. If the area has been

disarmed outside of any schedule, the closing check sequence occurs one hour after the area was

disarmed.

closing code - this programming option provides for a user code to be required for system arming.

closing wait - a programming option that provides for the panel to display a message on the keypad

and delay arming the system until the closing report has been acknowledged by the central station

receiver.

user menu. Pressing the command key allows you to go forward and through each step of a menu

section. As you go through the options, the keypad displays any current selections already stored in

the panel's memory. The command key is also used to enter information into the panel's memory,

such as phone numbers or zone names, by pressing the key after entering the information and it is

being displayed correctly on the keypad.

Command Processor™ - the trademarked name for DMP control/communicator alarm panels.

common area - a unique DMP programming option that allows specification of one or more areas

within a partition to arm automatically when all other areas are armed. Alternately, common areas

disarm when any area in the same partition is disarmed. Common areas are ideal for lobbies, storage

rooms, or other areas shared by multiple users.

cross zone time - the amount of time programmed into the panel during which armed cross zoned

zones must trip before an alarm report is sent to the central station. Cross zone time can be from

four to 250 seconds.

cross zoning - a zone characteristic that requires the zone to trip twice, or a second cross zoned zone

to trip, within a programmed amount of time before an alarm report is sent to the central station. An

example of cross zoning would be two interior PIRs. One PIR might trip due to an environmental

occurrence but an alarm report would not be sent until the other PIR is also tripped or the first PIR

restores and then trips again. If neither zone trips before the programmed cross zone time expires,

only a zone fault report is sent to the central station. Cross zoning reduces false alarms by requiring

two zone trips to send an alarm report. See also the DMP cross zoning application note LT-2000.

cutoff output - a panel programming option that allows you to specify individual on-board outputs to

turn off after a programmed time period. See cutoff time.

device fail output - this programming option provides for the specified output to turn on any time an

addressed device fails to respond to polling from the panel. The output is turned off when all

programmed devices respond to polling.

digital communicator - a means of transmitting alarm signals and other information to a central

station using the customer's existing phone line. To transmit an alarm, the communicator seizes the

customer's phone line and electronically dials the central station receiver. When the receiver answers,

the communicator sends a message in the form of a sequence of tones. A mini-computer in the

receiver accepts and acknowledges the message. It then prints out the information for display to the

operator.

usually occurs when the door through which the user exited does not close all the way before the

programmed exit time expired.

exit delay time - the length of time programmed into the system during which the user can exit the

premises through an exit zone (usually a front door) and disarm the system.

exit output - a specified output on a panel that is turned on any time an exit delay time starts in any

of time to enter and exit while the system is armed without setting off an alarm.

factory defaults - this function of the panel's programmer allows you to quickly turn programming

parameters back to their factory default setting.

false alarm - an alarm signal initiated without the presence of an emergency. This term is generally

used to describe an unwanted alarm condition. A false alarm report is sent by the panel due to a user

error, environmental activation, or malfunction of a security device installed in the system. False

alarms can be controlled by thoroughly training all users and ensuring that equipment is installed

according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

receiving device can handle all of the incoming data. This is particularly important where the sending

device is capable of sending data much faster than the receiving device can receive it.

force arm - this arming option allows the panel to force arm the system and ignore all bad zones.

Zones force armed in a bad condition are capable of restoring and reporting an alarm if tripped. A

report of the force armed zones is sent to the central station receiver if the bypass reports option has

been programmed as YES.

swinger bypass - a programmable function that allows the panel to bypass a zone that repeatedly

trips. Swingers (zones that trip often) are a serious false alarm problem but can be controlled by using

the swinger bypass feature. A swinger bypassed zone may be restored to the system after it has

remained stable for one hour.

swinger bypass trips - the number of times a zone can go into an alarm or trouble condition within

one hour before being automatically bypassed.

Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) - a data link layer protocol used by IBM SNA networks and DMP

Command Processor panels.

system monitor - the function that allows the panel to monitor its AC power, battery power, enclosure

tamper, phone line one, and phone line two. Troubles with any of these elements can be reported to a

central station or displayed on the system's keypads.

Systems Network Architecture (SNA) - a suite of communications protocols developed by IBM. It is

similar to the AppleTalk protocol suite for the Macintosh.

T1 - AT&T term for a digital carrier facility used to transmit a DS-1 formatted digital signal at 1.544

Mbps.

Telco - an alternate term used for a telephone company.

temporary schedules - a programmable schedule that allows the user to give restricted, short term

access to another person. Temporary schedules can be used to create a window outside of normal

business hours during which a maintenance or deliveryman can enter using a special code that

functions only during this window.

test frequency - a programming option that allows the selection of the how often the automatic recall

test is sent to the central station receiver.

test report - see automatic recall test.

test time - the time of day the panel sends the test report to the receiver.

thickwire - a type of Ethernet cabling, also known as 10Base-5, that uses a thick (about 3/8") coaxial

cable. Primarily used as a backbone to which thinwire or twisted pair hubs are connected.

transceiver - a single-ended electrical installation consisting of both transmitter and receiver. It

transmits a beam that is then reflected back to the receiver in the same unit.

transient - any increase or decrease in the excursion of voltage, current, power, heat, and so forth,

above or below a nominal value that is not normal to the source.

transmit delay - a feature of DMP Command Processor panels that delays the sending of burglary

alarm reports to the receiver for a selectable length of time up to 60 seconds.

transmitter - in a fire or security system, a device that sends alarm signals from a protected premises

to a proprietary headquarters, a central station, or a municipal headquarters.

trouble - an off normal condition on a zone during a supervised state. A normally closed zone that

alarms when opened, can initiate a trouble when shorted. A fire zone that alarms when shorted can

initiate a trouble when opened.

trouble signal - a signal that indicates trouble of any kind. This can be circuit break or ground

occurring in an alarm system's devices or wiring.

24-hour zone - a zone that is not turned on or off by arming or disarming a system.

Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) - an agency that tests and lists various consumer products for

safety and reliability. Most alarm system products are UL listed for use in various applications.

UL Certificate - a certificate issued by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. that serves as evidence that an

alarm system meets UL requirements for installation, operation and maintenance.

user - a person authorized to operate all or part of the security or fire system.

user code - a one to five digit number programmed into the panel and assigned to a user that allows

them to access its functions. User codes are typically assigned authority levels that restrict the user

to one or more of the system's functions or to certain areas for arming and disarming or door access.

user error - the number one cause of false alarms. A user who does not know how to perform a

function for which they have access, or who has not been trained properly in the operation of the

system, can and will cause false alarms. It is important that all new users receive instruction on

arming/disarming routines and alarm cancellation procedures to lessen the incidence of false alarms.

user menu - a keypad feature that provides a list of optional functions a user can access. These

functions include sensor reset, door access, outputs on/off, system status, and user codes. Individual

user menu items are displayed to persons according to the authority level of the user code they

entered to get into the menu.

volt/amp (VA) rating - the products of rated input voltage multiplied by the rated current. This

establishes the apparent energy available to accomplish work.

Wide Area Network (WAN) - a network that spans distances beyond the range served by LANs. WAN

distances are usually measured in miles instead of feet.

wideband - a system in which multiple channels access a medium (usually coaxial cable) that has a

large bandwidth, greater than that of a voice-grade channel.

wireless - the use of radio transmitters to send alarm device information through the protected

premises to a wireless receiver connected to a DMP Command Processor panel.

zone - a separate circuit or branch of a security system usually for the purpose of isolating and/or

identifying alarms or trouble in a system. Multiple zones are typically assigned to an area so that all of

their protection devices combined provide for the complete protection of the premises.

zone retard - a false alarm reduction feature that allows fire, supervisory, auxiliary one, and auxiliary

two zones to be programmed to delay from one to 250 seconds. If the zone remains shorted for the

entire length of the zone retard delay time an alarm is initiated.

zone reports - the message transmitted to the central station when a zone is in an alarm or a trouble

condition.

zone retard - a zone programming option that allows you to assign a retard delay time during which a

shorted zone does not initiate an alarm. The retard functions only in zone short conditions and the

zone must remain shorted for the full length of the retard delay before the panel recognizes its

condition.

zone retard delay time - a programmable delay time that can be assigned to fire, supervisory,

auxiliary one, and auxiliary two type zones. The zone retard delay can be programmed from one to

250 second increments. See also zone retard.

zoned systems - identifies the zone area or circuit in which an alarm signal originates. Most modern
